Introduction: I have been playing music since 1955, when I studied violin at the Cirillo School for Performing Violinists in Manhattan. In 1957, I performed solo in Carnegie Hall in New York City.
I continue to play the violin, the mandolin, the banjo, the guitar (classical, jazz and other forms), as well as the keyboards. My 3 grown children are all accomplished musicians, and I like to think that I had a significant hand in their development.
